Janet's Apple Pancakes with Apple Syrup

I got this recipe from my Aunt Janet and it is so good.  It is my favorite breakfast-for-dinner meal and it is great for a special breakfast as well. 

2 cups Bisquick*
1 egg
3/4 grated peeled apple
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1-1/3 cup milk

Mix all of the above and cook on a hot griddle.

Apple Syrup

2 cups apple juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. corn starch
1/2 tsp. apple pie spice

Mix cold apple juice and corn starch until completely dissolved. Add sugar, lemon juice, and apple pie spice. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened. Add butter and stir until melted.

*If I don't have Bisquick, I use regular pancake mix (i.e., Krusteaz) and add the cinnamon and grated peeled apple. Seems to work okay, but not as rich as Bisquick.
